The Brooks, Noble, from Africa, is arrived at St. Vincent's, after an Engagement with a Privateer of ten Guns to the windward of that Place, in which the Privateer lost her Mainmast, and was so much damaged that the People quitted her, and got on board a Schooner that was in Company, which blew up soon after they were on board, and fifty—five People perished: Ten were saved (among whom was the Captain of the Privateer) and lodged in Gaol at St.Vincent's.
